Arsenal are in Dubai for a four-day training camp, as Mikel Arteta uses the mid-season break to put his squad through their paces.

The Gunners do not have a game until 16 February, so Arteta will hope to use the time to work with his players and build upon what has been a solid start to 2020.

The 0-0 against Burnley last weekend made it four consecutive league draws, so Arsenal know they must start picking up wins to close the gap on the teams above them.

Newcastle United visit the Emirates after the break, and Arteta will be training with that game in mind.

January signing Pablo Mari has joined up with his new teammates in the middle east, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Nicolas Pepe, Bernd Leno and Lucas Torreira were among those already in the country before meeting with the rest of the squad.

Despite recovering from a knee ligament injury, Cedric Soares was also pictured at the training camp working with the team doctor.
